Ten years it's been since the introduction of the Xbox gaming system. Microsoft took a huge risk to take on the (at the time) formidable Sony and its PlayStation with a system that really launched with a load of very bad games, and one very, very good one. To say that Halo made the Xbox launch is an understatement. Without it, the system could have been in serious trouble very early, but Bungie managed to do what seemed at the time as impossible - a strong console first person shooter.

Halo's influence on the industry is significant. It proved that First Person Shooters could work on a console and work well. So ten years later we get this homage. A remake of the game with the same physics, but with HD graphics. And you know what? The game is just as good as it was a decade ago and that is quite a triumph.
